NEW DELHI: India and the US are the two worst coronavirus-hit countries in the world.
While the US has so far seen three waves of coronavirus, India is in the midst of a second wave.
The second wave for the US started last year in mid-June and peaked during the fourth week of July. On the other hand, the second for India started at the end of February this year.
The US also experienced a deadlier third wave which started in the first week of October 2020 and peaked in the first week of January 2021.
The second wave in the US lasted for nearly 45 days. In India, the second is yet to show a sign of slowing down even after 60 days.
